Does Science Trash Pro-Life Arguments?

Is science pro-choice? Does it show us a picture of early development that contradicts the claims of pro-life advocates? Dr. Stacy Trasancos tackles tough questions about life’s earliest stages.

Questions Covered:

  • 17:41 - I am a nurse and I know that physicians prescribe birth control pills for individuals who have lost their period due to a secondary cause such as an eating disorder. Can I administer that medication according to the Catholic Church?
  • 20:00 - Why aren’t you using the argument, “whatsoever you do to the least of these, you do unto me”?
  • 32:32 - Does the IUD prevent fertilization? Does it prevent the beginning of a human life?
  • 35:55 - Should a miscarriage be investigated by the authorities?
  • 43:10 - Why don’t they say the fetus feels pain at 6 days when the spinal cord and brain are developing? 
  • 46:00 - Is indirect abortion  teaching of the Catholic Church?
  • 51:36 - Why focus on the first nine months and ignore everything after that?
